Hearts striker Liam Boyce is facing a long road back to fitness amid reports he may have suffered a season-ending knee injury in Sunday's 3-2 win over St Johnstone.
Boyce, who has scored 35 goals in 87 appearances for the Jambos, looked in agony as he was stretchered off 49 minutes into the Scottish Premier League clash.
And according to the Scottish Sun, there are genuine concerns the 31-year-old is facing up to nine months on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury.
